Greetings fellow REIN members! I just joined REIN in November 2008 and this is my first post. After doing our "due diligence", my husband and I decided on a pre constructed, upper/lower duplex built by Ron and Rod of Compro Developments (affiliated with Harker Homes) in Grande Prairie.
My husband has been a journeyman carpenter for 40 years and he was very impressed by both the quality of the workmanship and the high end finishing`s of the identical unit we viewed before purchasing ours.
Ron and Rod were great to work with, readily available, generous with their knowledge of construction, investing and the local market. It was a seamless deal and closing (for us anyway!) Final inspection on May 28[sup]th and the tenants moved in May 29[sup]th.
Bev Deweese from Exit Realty could not have been more helpful. She kept us informed of all the progress and did some serious handholding when I got the "new investor jitters". Carrie and Jackie, also from Exit PM, have been SUPERB!! They found us wonderful clients, with leases, who are taking good care of our investment. They have also done many extras such as arranging sod care and dealing immediately with the few, inevitable bugs that come with new construction.
The BEST part is the $650/month average cash flow. This has been such a positive experience for us that we just removed conditions on a second identical unit and we take possession October 28th[/sup] and we are already negotiating a 3rd[/sup]!.
All of the contacts used in these transactions were REIN members, or recommendations of, including our lawyer Tyler Keddie and fabulous mortgage specialist Bettyanne Neufeld.
I have worked as an RN in ER for 28 years. It has been an unusual experience for me to be the one needing support, care and guidance. The REIN people have nurtured me GENEROUSLY and I am humbly grateful.
Sincerely
Jan Robinson

Unknown to us when we struck the deal, it comes with a 5 deal cruise as a gift from Bev Deweese!! In February we will start exploring our own personal "Belize".
